“Brian is an outstanding sitter! I was in the hospital having a baby and was experiencing so much stress finding a trustworthy person to watch my senior pit bull in my home. He cannot be boarded or crated. My dog has separation anxiety and Brian was able to help calm him and walk him or just hang out at the house with him when he needed a nap. Unexpectedly, my daughter needed to stay in the hospital and Brian was flexible and understanding. You are a life safer. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking great care of my dog-son.”

“Paulina was very accommodating and patient with our fearful dog. She allowed us to go on our camping trip with the peace of mind that Milo was taken care of. She was very easy to communicate with and sent us frequent updates.”
“This is our second time having Adriana take care of Caius and she has been so great. She always sends us pictures of him which makes us feel comfortable while we’re away. Caius is usually pretty reactive and needs some time warming up to people and it seems as though he really has with her. It speaks to how great she is with animals. Thanks Adriana! ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve raised many puppies and taken care of them into their senior days. I’ve provided pure love, safety, care, and tons of cuddles with many many many doggies. My own throughout my entire life, and for many friends, neighbors, family, and clients. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. So I’d have all the time to give your pups all my time and attention. Availability 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard. A safety gate blocking the stairs to the basement so no little doggies that might have trouble slipping on stairs can get to them or the basement. A dogs safety is always my utmost priority.
“Ciara is amazing with my dogs. I've booked with her before and each time she leaves not only my dogs happy and comfy, but she's so receptive to making sure the house is neat also. She's very intuitive and listens well. A regular for my dogs!”
“Avery did great with our Pup! She was very respectful of property and took him on a few extra walls around the neighborhood. We appreciate her taking good care of Decker and will definitely ask her to sit again!”
“This our second time having Paola care for our furbabies while we were out of town and she was just as amazing as the last time. Words cannot express how much we appreciate her attention to detail and thoughtfulness. She even found a new game to play with our one kitty who doesn’t like to play very much! Paola truly takes all of our stress and worry away when we have to leave our babies. With Paola, we know they are in great hands!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, they’ve always held a special place in my heart. From dogs and cats to horses and more, I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, explore, or simply enjoys calm company, I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own fur babies! As a licensed esthetician, I create my own schedule & have the flexibility to work around your pet’s routine, making scheduling stress free for both of us. You can count on me to be dependable, respectful of your home, and to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. Pet care has always been a natural part of my day to day routine because I’ve grown up around animals & have cared for pets for majority of my life. I work part time as an esthetician, meaning I can create my own schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for walks, visits, & overnight stays! The pet’s safety, comfort, & routine would be my highest priorities. I like to take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, etc so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience being around cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every animal has different comfort zones and boundaries. Whether your pet is shy, playful, independent, or needs extra patience, I always respect their pace. I’ll l keep your home clean, follow your instructions carefully, & provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry family members are doing.🐾

About: Hi! Im Cailey. Im a sophomore in college studying to become a veterinarian. I previously worked at a pet hotel for two years as a daycare attendant, groomer, and reactive dog handler. I am comfortable with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. While working at the pet hotel I was also trained on how to administer various medications both oral and injection, and I was trained in pet cpr and how to read the body language of a dog. I have three large breed dogs of my own, two of which I took to professional trainers and my most recent rescue I trained myself. I am not a professional trainer but I am quite educated on the subject! Please reach out for any grooming, pet care, or training inquires! Thank you. My dogs wake me up every morning around 7-8 to go potty and for breakfast. I take one or two of my dogs each morning to run with me. I live right next to a park we usually do two laps of. After then my dogs pretty much entertain each other until dinner time. In other peoples homes I treat them as if they were my own! Well talk everything over in person of course but just leave me detailed instructions and I will do my best to follow them to a T!
About: Hi, my name is Lindsey! I am looking to help take care of your furry loved ones and give you an extra hand. I have over 15 years of experience with dogs from personal ownership. I have experience with small to large dog breeds of various ages and behaviors as well. I can help assist with playtime, training (if you would like), dog walking, socialization, and provide extra specialized attention. I have fostered dogs through the PAWS Chicago organization, so my skills are wide-ranging and knowledgable! I am flexible on dates and more than willing to figure out something that works for both of our schedules, so your dog(s) are well taken care of. You can contact me here or any of the personal information I have provided such as email or phone. I hope to connect soon! 2026 Summer Update: Please message me for recent testimonies from long term clients. Restarting with accepting new clients, lots of availability! NOTE: For boarding/daycare only, please inquire only if your pet is dog-friendly. I live in a dog-friendly building so your dog must be okay around other dogs. No exceptions. I am a nurse with flexible work scheduling which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to what needs your special, furry loved ones require. I can crate your dogs if needed. Take them on long walks through a quiet suburb or a park if they need more energy burnt. I will send updated pictures/videos upon request. We can discuss any special environmental needs of your pet as well:)
“Alexandra was amazing with both Panini and Lady! She was very comfortable with dogs, especially bulldogs, and clearly understood the extra attention and patience a puppy needs. I felt completely comfortable having her care for them and really appreciated how well she handled both of their different personalities and needs. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
About: Having lived with, and cared for dogs for much of my life, you can expect that your pet will receive my full attention and devotion during the time that we work together—not just their basic health, safety and food/outdoor needs, but also the affection that keeps them feeling loved. I currently work from home-where we have a large backyard with endless fascinating smells—and I rarely leave client dogs unattended. My own Boston Terrier, Hutson, currently 8 years old, is a well socialized, solid companion who is very good with canine communication, and will give space to dogs who need and request it, or play with those who share his play style (I monitor very closely). He’s especially good with puppies. I am also very comfortable maintaining obedience protocols when needed, but also flexible and realistic about dogs' behavior. I have some experience with dogs' health needs. I have helped care for my mother's cocker spaniel, whose serious autoimmune condition has required the administration of daily oral medication, including immune system blockers and steroids. I've also cared for a four month-old Boston Terrier puppy who when we first met needed medication administered twice daily. Outside my interest in animals, I've run a summer program for high school students, and have significant and transferable experience handling emergency situations and working under pressure. I currently work from home, and I rarely leave client dogs unattended. We have a large backyard full of interesting smells and occasional visits from other animal friends, from squirrels to rabbits and opossums. I also love longer walks through nearby forest preserved if dogs are well suited to this. Having lived with, and cared for dogs for much of my life, you can expect that your pet will receive my full attention and devotion during the time that we work together—not just their basic health, safety and food/outdoor needs, but also the affection that keeps them feeling loved. I'm an advocate of positive training techniques, and try to provide mental stimulation. My own Boston Terrier, Hutson, currently six years old, is a well socialized, solid companion who is very good with canine communication, and will give space to dogs who need and request it, or play with those who share his play style (I monitor very closely).
About: Hi I am Audrey! I’m a student at the University of Dayton. I’ve had four dogs and a variety of other pets throughout my life, and I spent three years working at a dog kennel which also had cats and all kinds of pets as well. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra attention they need. I am available almost everyday during the week and can work on a short notice. I will prioritize your animal when the help is needed. I feed, walk, and take care of my own dogs. I will carry this onto your pets and their needs. I will follow any instructions provided.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
